Although the entries for this year’s Rory Peck Awards reflect the Iraq war, these awards prove once again that it is the freelancers who, with courage and passionate involvement, are committed to recording ongoing conflicts and issues around the world.


Rodrigo Vazquez

While they were filming the International Solidarity Movement’s efforts to stop the IDF demolishing Palestinian houses, aid worker Tom Hurndall was shot in the head and fell into a coma.



The team followed efforts to have him moved to an Israeli hospital for further treatment. They also filmed the affect of the bombings on families, meeting a little girl called Huda who had been shot through the head whilst sitting in her classroom at school. Sandra talks to the IDF about the killing of James Miller.
